Question
hi there im wondering if you could help me decide between
1. Intel core 2 duo E7300 2.66Ghz, Nvidia 9800 GT and intel g31 chipset = $579
2. Intel core 2 duo E8400 3.0 Ghz, ati radeon 3850 and asus P5QL
= $644
Im probably going to use this for gaming and run stuff like fallout 3 etc
any input would be greatly valued thnx a lot
I would point you to the TechRepublic and Guru3D "system build guides" for advice:
http://www.techreport.com/articles.x/16438
http://www.guru3d.com/article/pc-buyer-guide-december-2008/
TechReport's guide is updated almost monthly, while Guru3D updates theirs roughly once a quarter, so I would lean more towards the TR suggestions (as they're more "real-time").

Expertise
I have nearly two decades of experience in IT, computer repair, and related fields and will attempt to provide the most solid, brand-agnostic advice when it comes time to purchase a new computer, or upgrade an existing machine. I can answer anything from the seemingly basic to the downright complicated - and will do my best to provide this information in a clear and concise manner.
Experience
I have been an enthusiast of PC's for many years, and can answer questions about the purchase/use of a new computer or the purchase, installation, and use of upgrades for existing computers. There probably isn't a whole lot related to the home computer that I haven't seen over the years.
